Language in K-12

Online Language Learning is a Recipe for Success

It’s no secret that the world is becoming more connected. Your students’ success in adulthood might very well depend on how they can perform internationally. But what benefits does language learning provide students today, while they are still in school?
Studies have proven that students who speak multiple languages:

Have better working memories

Exhibit greater mental flexibility

Find it easier to grasp abstract concepts, like those required in the Common Core

With all of these benefits and what is at stake, you would think the United States would be a leader in language education. Instead, fewer than 10% of Americans are fluent in more than one language, and only 25% of elementary schools offered foreign language education in 2008.
